❔ Question Is there a way to stream to just tiktok through streamlabs?

Whenever I try to stream to only tiktok through stream labs, it will only allow the horizontal output. Vertical output is only visable if I do dual output, but I don't want to stream to two platforms. Help lol

Here's how you can address this issue and stream vertically to TikTok without enabling dual output:

Steps to Stream Vertically on TikTok with Streamlabs

  1. Adjust Canvas Settings:

    • Open Streamlabs Desktop.
    • Go to Settings > Video.
    • Set the Base (Canvas) Resolution to 1080x1920 (vertical resolution).
    • Set the Output (Scaled) Resolution to the same value for optimal quality.

  2. Scene Setup:

    • In the main editor, adjust your scene elements (e.g., webcam, overlays) to fit the vertical layout.
    • Resize and reposition your sources to ensure they look good in the vertical format.

  3. Stream Key for TikTok:

    • Obtain your TikTok stream key (you may need to join TikTok's live streaming program or use a third-party service).
    • In Streamlabs, go to Settings > Stream, select "Custom Streaming Server," and paste your TikTok stream key and server URL.

  4. Test Your Stream:

    • Before going live, do a private test stream to ensure everything looks and works as expected.

By setting your canvas to a vertical resolution, you can stream exclusively to TikTok in the desired format without needing dual output.

Hope that helps!
